THE WEATHER AND THE CRops.-Wa

THE WEATHER AND THE CRoPs.-Wdsh-
ington, Aug. 2S.-Repofts indicate that the
rains during the past and previous weeks
have doubtless proved favorable for grow
ing crops in the corn regions, although in
the principal producing States the
yield of this crop will doubtless be materi-
ally reduced, owing to the drought. Re-
ports from the cotton regions show that the
harvesting of that crop is in progress, but
that the yield has been slightly reduced,
owing to the deficiency of rainfall. During
the week the weather has been especially
favorable for pasture and late-planted pota-
toes in the Middle Atlantic States and in
the Northwest. Reports from England in
dictate that the weather has been unfavor-
able to growing crops, especially to tobacco
and potatoes, owing to an excess of rainfall
Frosts occurred during the week as far
south as Central Minnesota, but as yet have
caused no material injury to the crops.

THE SOUTHERN FLAGS.
BY H. M. cLARKsoN, "A. NJ, M. D.

Let these flags be furled forever,
Just as when we laid them down.
Emblems of vain endeavor,
Duty done without its crown,
Covered as they are with glory,
Let them moulder into dust, 49,
Emblematic of their story,
Emblematic of our trust.
Let those braves who charged upon them
Men who met us in the fight;
They who by their valor won them,
Let them keep them-the irs by right.
Let them keep them, torn and tattered,.
Tokens of the tears they cost;
Symbols of people scattered,
Emblems of the cause they lost.ss-.
Emblems of people da shing
Down the tide of Time to die;
Meteor-like in splendor flashing,
Flaming across the Southern sky!
When before did such nation,
Born alone of hopes and prayers,
Freely offer such libation,
Pour out its blood and tears?
Not all old ROme's heroic ages,
Not cen Greece's grandest days;
Not the worlds historic pages
Furnish such a theme for praise.
Classic Greece yet tells the deeds of
Heroes of her land and sea.
Wondering. all the world now reads of
Raphael Semmes.and Robert Lee.
Never marched men into battle,
Braver men with firmer tread,
Spite of all the roar and rattle,
Spite of dying and the dead.
Rest, ye warriors, from your labors;
Rest your banners worn to rags;
Sheathed forever are your sabres.
Furled forever be your flags.
Though in vain our brave endeavor,
Though our skies be overcast,
Appomattox meant forever"
No repinings for the past.
Symbols of grand oblatfon.
Keep those flags forever furled.
Emblems of a vanished nation,
Once the wonder of the world.

A BATTLE WITH THE UTEs.-From the
news published this morning from Colorado
it appears that there has been sharp fight
ing between Sheriff Kendall's posse, large
ly composed Of the cowboy element, and
the Utes, under Colorow. 1t is difficult as
yet to get at the precise facts which led to
the outbreak, but as far as they are known
the origin of it arose from the attempt of
Sheriff Kendall to serve a warrant on two
Ute Indians, who were charged with steal
ing horses, and who resisted arrest. There
were hopes that the matter would admit of
a peaceful settlement, but while Gov.
Adams was on his way to meet Gen. Crook,
who had been deputed to assist at con-
ference with Colorow, it appears that Ken
dali had encountered the Utes in canyon
between the mountains and that desper-
ate fight had ensued, which resulted in kill
ing one man of Kendall's force and wound.
ing four others-one of the latter mortally.
Several Indians are reported to have also
been killed. After the fight had been kept
up in desultory way until late in the
night, the Indians are said to have Ietreat-
ed into the timber. Colorow is reported
to have with him seven hundred men,
which, if true, shows that he must have
been largely reinforced from other tribes.
1t is noteworthy, however, as an indication
that Colorow did not want to proceed to
extremities, that notwithstanding the alarm
his movements had created at Meeker and
other exposed points, he had, up to the
time of the battle, committed no depreda-
tions upon the outlying settlements. What
the effect of the fight may be upon his fu-
ture course no one can yet say. If mes
sengers from the Governor and Gen. Crook
can reach him, it is possible that he may
10 1nI all
and the men who are with him can be re-
strained in the meantime from taking fur
ther action. The call upon the government
to order the United States troops to take
the field against Colorow was very proper
ly declined. The act of 1878 prohibits, un-
der a heavy penalty, the employment of
any part of the army to act as the sheriff's
posse, except i'll cases specifically author
lied, and none of these special circumstan-
ces had occurred. 1t is the duty of State
to suppress insurrection within its borders,
and there has been nothing thus far to war
rant the belief that such an insurrection
exists in Colorado as is beyond the ability
of the forces of the State to cope with.
That it may now acquire unexpected pro-
portions is possible, especially as the blood
of the frontiersmen is up, and the cowboys,
if their reputation does not belle them, are
always eager IOr u ngnC. moreover, the
Ute reservation is said to be coveted by the
cattle companies, but with how much truth
we do not pretend to say. Tho ordering of
so brave and cool and yet so discreet a SOL
dier as Gen. Crook to join Gov. Adams and
endeavor to bring about peaceful settle
ment of the difficulty was in any event
wise act on the part of the government, and
it is sincerely to be hoped that the joint
mission will yet be successful. Sun,
